Its aspiration not extraction!!!

Due to knee injury had to visit the hospital with my sister. I explained my case history to the doctor and informed that previously when I had a similar injury the doc made a puncture and removed the fluid to relieve me of the pain.

After some time when we were waiting for my turn at the MRI scan center my sister explained that the correct term for removing fluid is aspiration - 'Fluid is aspirated from a part not extracted or removed.' For those who thought extraction is the correct word here is some gyan - extraction is process in which the fluid is created after some processing done on the material. Hope you got what I am trying to say.
